Hard to figure how so much awful horror could''ve started out with just them two horses and not a one yet named... From the bestselling author of While folks still like to focus on the crimes that shocked the small city of Orvop, Utah, back in the fall of 1982, not to mention the trials that followed, far more remember the adventure that took place beyond municipal lines. For sure no one expected the dead to rise, but they did. No one expected the mountain to fall either, but it did. No one expected an act of courage so great, and likewise so appalling, that it still staggers the heart and mind of anyone who knows anything about the Katanogos massif, to say nothing of Pillars Meadow.

This is an amazing work of fiction. I absolutely loved it. At the heart you ll find a blood-drenched story of pursuit and two brave and resourceful children. But there s so much more. I immersed myself. Have never read anything like it.
Stephen King
"Epic. . . . The beauty of this elaborate novel goes beyond the page-turning plot. . . . Fans of Danielewski s House of Leaves will clamor for his first major stand-alone novel in 25 years.
Library Journal, starred review
"A sweeping epic set in the rugged Utah wilderness. . . . Danielewski s prose is lush and dialect-inflected, simultaneously ornate, and folksy, reminiscent of early Cormac McCarthy. The characters are exquisitely drawn, memorable, and fully human. Mythic in ambition, the narrative is propulsive yet immersive, given to rumination and asides, adding intimacy and emotional resonance. A most resplendent journey well worth the effort."
Booklist, starred review
With echoes of The Iliad and a body count to rival Blood Meridian, morphing from Western to horror to police procedural and back again, Danielewski s yarn is carefully plotted and imaginatively written. . . . A daring foray into a genre that s seen little recent experimentation.
Kirkus Reviews
"Exciting. . . . Adventurous readers will enjoy this wild ride."
